Cicerone Certified Beer Server Practice Test

Which of the following Belgian beers is always made with wheat?

1. Belgian blond ale

2. Dubbel

3. Tripel

4. Witbier

The correct answer is: Witbier

Witbier is a top-fermented Belgian beer that is traditionally made with at least 50% wheat in addition to barley malt. This gives it a light, refreshing flavor and often a cloudy appearance. The other options - Belgian blond ale, dubbel, and tripel - are all typically made with a higher proportion of barley malt and do not necessarily use wheat in their recipes. While some versions of these styles may include wheat as a secondary ingredient, it is not a defining characteristic and cannot be assumed. Therefore, none of these options can be considered the "always made with wheat" Belgian beer.
